Shark Attack!

I've finally finished making the last baby shower gift for a while, well...at least until July when the baby bashes start up again. This gift may be my favorite though. Shark towel puppets! Perfect for making bath time with little Billy Bob (sorry Gretchen, I know you probably won't name him that!) fun and hopefully easier.




I started out by giving the expecting mama a clue a few weeks ago. Nothing but a cryptic poem and a bar of soap with a teethy bite carved out of it. She didn't get the final piece to her puzzle until last week when she opened her gift to find this, a family of sharks. Watch out Gretchen, they bite!


Go here if you're really digging these little guys and would like to make some for yourself. (Note: all I did was vary the size of the template to get a daddy, mommy, and baby shark.)

Book Binding III

As a baby shower gift I hand-bound this keepsake book for my sister. It's an "advice to baby" book in which family and friends can write words of advice or messages of love to baby. Anything and everything from advice on childhood, college, or even marriage, to messages of love and encouragement.



It's a fairly small book, but with many pages, so when it's unfolded it looks like a long accordion.
